The fifth and final application of the Eye Candy Effects Collection we're taking a look at, is Xenoflex 2. Xenofex 2 takes over creative effects where EC5 left off. Dealing with complex effects such as marbe veins, Xenofex 2 renders images in totally new types of environments, which are completely different from the three EC5 applications.
